Subscribe to Apple Music on iPad
Apple Music is an ad-free streaming music service that lets you listen to millions of songs and your music library. As a subscriber, you can listen any time—online or off—and create your own playlists, stream and download lossless and Dolby Atmos music, get personalized recommendations, receive notifications when a favorite artist releases new music, see music your friends are listening to, watch exclusive video content, and more.
You can subscribe to Apple Music or to Apple One, which includes Apple Music and other services. See the Apple Support article Bundle Apple subscriptions with Apple One.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Apple Music Voice and use Siri to stream any song, album, playlist, or radio station in the Apple Music catalog. See Listen to music with Apple Music Voice.
Note: Apple Music, Apple Music Voice, Apple One, lossless, and Dolby Atmos aren’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
Subscribe to Apple Music
You can subscribe to Apple Music when you first open the Music app ; to subscribe later, go to Settings > Music, then tap the subscription button.
New subscribers can start a trial and cancel at any time. If you end your Apple Music subscription, you can no longer stream Apple Music songs or play Apple Music songs you downloaded.
Qualified students can purchase a student subscription at a discounted price. See the Apple Support article Get an Apple Music student subscription.
Share Apple Music with family members
When you subscribe to Apple Music, Apple One Family, or Apple One Premier, you can use Family Sharing to share Apple Music with up to five other family members. Your family group doesn’t need to do anything—Apple Music is available to them the first time they open the Music app after your subscription begins.
If you join a family group that subscribes to Apple Music, Apple One Family, or Apple One Premier, and you already subscribe, your subscription isn’t renewed on your next billing date; instead, you use the group’s subscription. If you join a family group that doesn’t subscribe, the group uses your subscription.
Note: To stop sharing Apple Music with a family group, you can cancel the subscription, leave a Family Sharing group, or remove a member from a Family Sharing group.
Listen to music shared with you
When a friend shares music with you using the Messages app, you can easily find it in Shared with You in Apple Music. (Music must be turned on in Settings > Messages > Shared with You, and your friend must be in your contacts list in Contacts.)
Open the Music app , then tap Listen Now.
Swipe up to Shared with You, then do any of the following:
Tap a song to listen to it.
Tap the name of the person, people, or group that shared a song to reply to them using the Messages app.
Touch and hold the song to take other actions—for example, add it to your library, create a station, or share it.
Show or hide subscription features
Go to Settings > Music, then turn Show Apple Music on or off.
Change or cancel your Apple Music subscription
You can change your subscription plan or cancel your subscription.
Tap Listen Now in the sidebar, then tap or your profile picture.
Tap Manage Subscription, then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you’re not a subscriber, you can use Music to listen to music synced to iPad from a Mac or a Windows PC, play and download previous iTunes Store purchases, and listen to Apple Music radio for free.
